Why did the ancients often say that "people who are poor can't save San Qian, and they are penniless and don't string three doors"? What is the truth of our ancestors' words?

The truth contained in this sentence has been used all my life, mainly in life and etiquette. The first is that "people are poor and can't save San Qian". You may find it strange to see this sentence. Because we have always stressed that people should learn to be frugal and not extravagant. The poorer people are, the more nervous they are about money. Not saving money will only make them poorer and poorer. But in fact, money is not saved, but earned. Therefore, some money can't be saved, even if you are poor.

Because there are bound to be many relatives and friends in life, it is inevitable to treat guests and give gifts in order to strengthen emotional ties. Then there is the cost of your own clothes. No matter how poor or rich you are, you should fix your personal image. Who do you think wants to face a sloppy you? Whether at work or in life, don't save money on clothes, make yourself full of energy, and there will be no bad luck when you go out. So these are inevitable.

"Don't string three doors" is more about friendship. Because men should have backbone, some people actually look down on themselves. You may go to their house just to improve the relationship, but in fact, they are not happy when they look at you, and they will only ask for it and degrade themselves. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. If you are not particularly good relatives, don't visit distant relatives casually. One more thing is better than one less thing. Don't make trouble, don't mind things that have nothing to do with yourself.

In short, no matter how poor you are, you can't save money on gifts, guests and clothes because money is earned, not saved. We should communicate with people more, but we should not string together cold eyes, distant relatives or right and wrong doors. Only in this way, our life will have more blessings and less disasters.
